As a fellow fashion enthusiast and CFF member, I am pleased to
announce the launch of Style Admirer (styleadmirer.com), a fashion
website exclusively for Chicago. Our mission is to spotlight the
amazing sartorial talent and shopping venues the city has to offer. We
hope to be a platform for local designers and boutiques—and an
intriguing resource for the city’s stylish residents—to ultimately
help our city’s fashion community thrive.
Our content channels the city’s distinct ability to fuse style,
personality and practicality. We combine designer labels and
budget-conscious brands found online and around the city to present
fashions that are accessible to Chicago shoppers and relevant to their
individual styles.
Our “Features” and “StyleBlog” will regularly highlight trends,
shopping finds and event information, as well as profiles of the
city’s fashion advocates. The directory of Chicago’s best shopping
districts includes maps and links to stores’ websites, and we look
forward to adding more districts in the near future. We will update
the “Events & Sales” section daily to include the latest fashion
events, trunk shows, sales and more. Finally, our “Simply Fabulous”
section will feature a fantastic garment, accessory or product
available in local stores.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about Style
Admirer, please feel free to contact me directly.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the site!
Best,
–
